The big O-N-E

Michael turned one on 6 September. We celebrated by going to our favorite pub for pizza and then coming back to the house for carrot cake (which we all know is really just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into our mouths!).



Winding the Bobbin Up at the pub:



Kate was so excited about cake. Michael didn't know what was going on, but he got into it very quickly. I was shocked at how small of a mess he made, since he is probably the World's Messiest Baby. I guess he thought the cake was too yummy to waste by rubbing in his hair.





We asked Kate what she thought Michael wished for, and she replied, "He is wishing for Pooh Jammies". Lucky for him, wishes do come true! His sister got him a pair of Pooh jammies for his birthday.


Tyler & Lesley got him an adorable fleece jacket and hat, so that he will stay nice and toasty during the cold English autumn/winter/spring/summers.

Kate insisted he try the hat on right away.



Another one, just because I love baby profile shots.
